Bug Description
I installed Jaunty UNR a while back, then just upgraded to Karmic RC last night, using "update-manager -d" as described at http://
Starting out in netbook mode, I can switch to classic mode. Note that the netbook launcher remains running after this, as mentioned in my recent comment to bug 322465.
Once in classic mode, I launch desktop-switcher again. The first bug is that of the two options presented (netbook, classic), netbook is initially selected, even though the current mode is classic.
The second bug is that when I select netbook mode (either do nothing and rely on initial selection, click the netbook option, or click the classic option and then click the netboook option) and then click apply, it does not correctly switch back to netbook mode. I have seen either a) Nothing at all happen, or b) Just once, the classic menu bars were all killed, the netbook launcher was displayed (although I don't recall if it was restarted, or simply left over from before due to bug 322465), and no menu bars were re-created, so no "tray" icons, no ubuntu icon to jump back to the launcher etc.

BTW, I find that in classic mode, both maximus and netbook-launcher are still running, and if I kill either, they auto-restart.
